[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1070481, member: 2736"] I have a little trick to remove old/difficult receivers that can save your receiver from over stressing and twisting that might help. I use a standard Brownells receiver wrench and a large rubber mallet that applies plenty of impact shock and doesn't mark my wrench. One or two good strikes and the receiver comes loose. I have only had one receiver that would not come loose and I had to cut a relief at the barrel tenon shoulder and the front of the receiver. I am not sure how much torque it would take to damage a receiver and don't want to find out so the impact method works good and I don't run the risk of screwing up a receiver with to much torque. Like you I like 50 to 100 lbs for the barrel to receiver connection (50 to 75 ft/lbs If any lubricant is used on the threads, and 75 to 100 ft/lbs if they are put on dry. There is also less chance of rotating a good barrel in the barrel vice damaging the finish with the impact method using the rubber hammer. Just another way to skin this cat. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
